If a load comes out of the dryer with a temperature exceeding the limit, putting it back in for a cool-down cycle is the most appropriate action. This option specifically addresses safety and process compliance, ensuring that the fabric or items are not damaged by excessive heat, which can result in burns, melting, or other hazards.

A cool-down cycle is designed to gradually lower the temperature of the items to a safe level, making them safe to handle and reducing the risk of fire hazards associated with overheated materials. It also maintains the integrity of the items being dried, preserving their quality for future use.

Leaving the items out to cool might lead to uneven cooling or potential safety risks if the items are still too hot to handle properly. Discarding the load would be wasteful, and documenting the temperature, while important for record-keeping, does not solve the immediate issue of the overheated load. Thus, returning the load to the dryer for a cool-down cycle effectively addresses both safety and quality concerns.
